The cash-strapped Postal Service announced Tuesday that it has inked a licensing deal with an Ohio-based clothing company to produce a line of apparel dubbed “Rain Heat & Snow.” The attire aims to reach well beyond T-shirts and baseball caps to include “wearable electronics”—like jackets with iPod controls built into the sleeve, USPS spokesman Roy Betts explained to Yahoo News.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FREEDOM OF SPEECH: Alan Isaacman The People Vs Larry Flynt"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you've heard a lot here today and I won't try to go back over it all. But you have to go back in that room and make some decisions and there is one thing I want to make very clear to you before you do. I'm not trying to convince you that you should like what Larry Flynt does. I don't like what he does. But what I do like is... that I live in a country... where you and I can make that decision for ourselves. I like that I live in a country where I can pick up Hustler magazine... read it if I want... or throw it in the trash, if that's where I think it belongs. Or better yet I can express my opinion by not buying it. I like that right. I care about it. And you should care about it, too... because we live in a free country. We say that a lot, but sometimes we forget what that means, so listen again. We live in a free country. That is a powerful idea. That's a magnificent way to live. But there is a price for that freedom, which is that sometimes... we have to tolerate things that we don't necessarily like. So go back in that room... where you are free to think whatever you want to think... about Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine. But then ask yourselves if you want to make that decision for the rest of us... because the freedom that everyone in this room enjoys... is, in a very real way, in your hands. If we start throwing up walls against what some of us think is obscene... we may wake up one morning and realize... that walls have been thrown upin places we never expected... and we can't see anythingor... do anything. And that's not freedom. That is not freedom. So, be careful. Thank you."VIDEO: [link to youtu.be]

I thought it was "against the rules" for a Gov organization to get involved in private sector marketing and production of goods. I'm prob totally wrong but it was something I just thought of.

Perhaps if they cut the bureaucracy and the dead weight and provided a streamlined service...they might be self supporting...what a concept!

I know...there has been rules and regulations that affected their sustainability and viability and I am not knowledgable about all the details...but seriously...I know postal workers at small post offices that have absolute candy coated easy jobs...they sit at a window all day and goof off on their ipads and smart phones till a rural customer comes in to buy stamps or mail off a package...efficiency at it's finest!

Ok, that can be understandable but newman? Aren't there better examples. You did mention Cliff though.

Quoting: Damrod

The job of the government is to create artificial demand and supply for their corporate overmasters by 1) creating cartels and monopolies for their buddies and 2) manufacturing currency from debt promises that you and your children are supposed to pay off.

Those promises are never really paid off they are just papered over with new promises and associated higher principle and interest (that will never be paid off, etc)
